When the plane arrived in Lin City, it was already evening. The dusk shrouded the earth, and the distant lighthouses were like pearls and jade.
There was a group of people standing on the tarmac, and it seemed that they were not a small group. Ji Bai and Director Sun walked at the front, and they were greeted by the cordial greetings of the provincial and municipal leaders, as well as the reporters' flashes.
Ji Bai saw a young man next to the provincial leader, and he was not too surprised. He smiled and said, "Secretary Hua."
Secretary Hua smiled. "Your brother was worried, so he asked me to come and take a look. Did everything go well? "
Ji Bai nodded. "Yes."
A provincial leader smiled. "Ji Bai is the role model of our province's public security system. No criminal can escape from him, Director Ji, please rest assured."
Xu Xu walked at the back, and as soon as she got off the plane, she was surrounded by Da Hu, Zhao Han, and the other representatives of the Lin City Police Department. They could not go in front, so they all looked from afar and asked Xu Xu with concern, "Are you okay? I heard that you were held hostage? Are you hurt? "
Xu Xu saw them and felt a warmth in her heart, so she answered them one by one. Everyone chatted for a while, and then they all looked at Ji Bai and the others through the crowd.
It was already late, and according to the plan, Xu Xu and Ji Bai needed to attend the commendation meeting at the provincial hall the next morning, so there were no plans for tonight. Seeing that the crowd in front of them had not moved and were still talking, Xu Xu said goodbye to Da Hu and the others. "I'll go home first, see you tomorrow."
Everyone nodded.
At this moment, they saw a familiar figure walking over from the crowd in front of them.
It was Ji Bai.
His tall figure looked particularly tall in the night, and there was a faint smile on his face, which made him look even more angular and clear. He greeted Da Hu and the others first. Everyone was very excited and asked all sorts of questions. Xu Xu also looked at him with a smile.
Suddenly, he looked up at her, turned around, and walked straight in front of her.
The people around him all smiled, and those who did not know also noticed that something was wrong and looked at him curiously. Xu Xu looked at his gentle and smiling expression, and her reaction was very natural and calm. "Master."
Ji Bai raised a hand and naturally placed it on her shoulder, and looked at her calmly. "I can't leave now, how are you going to go back?"
Under everyone's gaze, Xu Xu's face slowly became hot, and his hand made the skin on her shoulder heat up. She stared at his shirt expressionlessly. "My brother came to pick me up."
"Alright, see you tomorrow." He stared at her with a faint smile in his eyes. "Have a good rest."
"Mm." Xu Xu continued to lower her head.
Only then did he put down his hand, turned around and bid farewell to Da Hu and the others with a smile, and strode towards the crowd in front of him.
Among the officials in front, there were a few who looked over with interest. Secretary Hua also saw this scene clearly and smiled without saying a word.
Ji Bai, on the other hand, was not embarrassed at all. After showing his concern for his girlfriend in public, he left with the leaders in a private car. Xu Xu was the one who suffered the most. She still had to ride the airport shuttle with the rest of the group and walk out of the boarding gate. Along the way, a middle-aged lady from the logistics department of the municipal bureau asked straightforwardly, "Xiao Xu, are you dating Captain Ji?"
Many people looked over, so Xu Xu could only answer, "Yes."
As soon as Xu Xu reached the exit, she saw Xu Juan standing in the crowd in a white shirt and trousers. His handsome and lazy appearance was extremely eye-catching.
When Xu Juan saw his sister, a smile appeared on his face. He took the luggage from her hands and patted her head. He noticed that she was obviously tanned and her chin was thinner. He could not help but frown. "Don't go to such a lousy place again."
Xu Xu could not help but laugh.
At night, the siblings went straight home. Father Xu personally cooked a table full of delicious dishes.
Professor Xu had a gentle and introverted nature, so Xu Juan mostly asked about the various things that happened during their time in Myanmar. Xu Xu had the same temperament as her father, so she answered concisely and the content was rather boring. After a while, Xu Juan simply stopped asking and only told her to take care of her skin and regain her original weight.
After dinner, Xu Juan took the initiative to wash the dishes while her father went to the study to practice calligraphy as usual. Xu Xu sat in the living room for a while, then followed him in. She did not say much and just quietly wrote at the side.
No one knew his daughter better than a father. Seeing that his youngest daughter did not do anything and just obediently stuck to his side, her father smiled slightly. After writing for a while, he changed the topic. "You didn't encounter any danger this time, did you?"
Xu Xu answered, "More daunting than dangerous."
Her father nodded and did not ask any more questions. He looked at her with a gentle smile in his eyes. "Xu Juan said that you have a boyfriend?"
Xu Xu blushed slightly. "Yes, I just got him not long ago."
"Don't worry about me if you like him. He's definitely a steady young man." Her father said, "When you think it's appropriate, bring him home and let me see him."
After her father went to sleep, Xu Xu strolled to Xu Juan's room. He was leaning against the bed with a cigarette in his hand and a laptop in his hand. He was working overtime to read the work documents sent by his subordinates.
Xu Xu sat down beside him and said after a while, "I almost died this time."
Xu Juan's eyes were originally fixed on the screen, but he suddenly turned to look at her.
Xu Xu smiled. "I was afraid of dying. I really thought that I would never see you and dad again. "
Xu Juan did not say anything, but he reached out and pulled her tightly into his arms.
This was how Xu Xu treated her family.
Perhaps it was because she was raised by two men, she was usually quiet and introverted. She did not have the delicate dependence of an ordinary girl. However, at critical moments, she would also use her own way to express her feelings. She even acted like a girl and sought comfort from her elder brother. However, in front of her elderly father, she would hold back and remain silent about all her grievances.
After coming out of Xu Juan's room, Xu Xu was in a good mood. She took a shower and lay comfortably on the bed. Then, she took out her phone and sent a message to Ji Bai. "I'm going to bed, goodnight."
Ji Bai immediately called her.
During dinner, they spent most of the time chatting, so they did not eat much. Ji Bai had just returned to the neighborhood and was buying supper at the supermarket downstairs. At this time, it was late at night and other than a few staff members in the brightly lit supermarket, he was the only one standing in front of the cashier with a box of frozen dumplings.
"I thought you were already asleep." He chuckled softly.
"No, I was just chatting with Xu Juan." Xu Xu also smiled. "What are you doing?"
Ji Bai was paying when he glanced at the colorful and exquisite boxes on the shelf next to him. He paused for a moment, then picked up the most expensive box of Durex and threw it into the shopping basket. "I'm buying dumplings, I didn't eat my fill tonight."
When they went to work the next day, the two of them were so busy that they did not even have time to talk.
By the time Ji Bai finished the backlog of work on his desk, it was already close to noon. At the bottom of the file box was Yao Meng's resignation letter.
Old Wu had also mentioned this matter this morning, so he pondered for a moment and called the station chief first.
The station chief's attitude was very clear. "I've talked to her, the young lady has other ideas, so we can't force her. Sign this letter and her resignation will be complete."
Ji Bai did not sign it immediately, but called Yao Meng in and closed the door.
After a month, Yao Meng still felt a little uncomfortable seeing Ji Bai again, but she could already look at him calmly. "Captain, what's the matter?"
Ji Bai went straight to the point. "In my opinion, I don't want you to resign. You're very well-rounded and a rare talent in the police force. "
These words made Yao Meng's heart tremble slightly, but she smiled slightly. "Thank you. But I … "
"If you don't want to stay in the criminal police force …" Ji Bai looked straight at her and said calmly, "If you want to go to any department in the station, I can recommend you. With your qualifications, there shouldn't be any difficulties. I can also help you contact the provincial office. "
Yao Meng looked at him quietly, and after a moment of silence, a very bright luster appeared in her eyes.
"Thank you, Captain, I'm really grateful." She said softly, "During this period of time, I've learned a lot from you, and you were the one who spoke up for me about Brother Lu. It's my luck to be able to meet a leader like you after graduation. However, I don't want to leave the police force for any other reason. "
She smiled brightly. "I have a job that I want to do more. A friend asked me to help him manage a magazine. I feel that this job is very challenging, and I'm more interested in it, so I'm resigning. "
Ji Bai nodded and smiled. "I understand, then I wish you all the best. Also, if you want to return to the police force in the future, as long as you haven't lost your professionalism, we'll always welcome you. "
Yao Meng's eyes were a little wet, but she silently held back her tears and nodded at Ji Bai.
Ji Bai got up and shook her hand. "There's a team dinner tonight, let's go together if you're free.
Yao Meng smiled and shook her head. "I have an appointment tonight, so I won't be going. I'll be attending the station's celebration party next week, and I'll officially bid farewell to everyone.
The dinner was set at a restaurant next to the police station. Other than the Criminal Police Unit, there were also a few people from other departments who were close to Ji Bai. All of them were men, and they surrounded Ji Bai and Xu Xu. Everyone talked about the Myanmar case, and the atmosphere was very lively.
Zhao Han sat at the outermost seat and ordered a bunch of drinks. Suddenly, he remembered Xu Xu and asked, "Sister-in-law, what do you want to drink?"
Xu Xu did not realize that he was talking about her, so she did not answer. Instead, she heard Ji Bai say, "She's drinking juice."
Xu Xu was stunned, and her eyes narrowed slightly. Everyone's expression remained the same, as if she had been officially addressed as such.
Xu Xu's cheeks were slightly hot, but her expression was as calm as everyone else's as she continued to listen to their conversation.
After the drinks were served, the atmosphere really heated up. Most of the criminal police officers drank heavily, and they clamored for a toast to Ji Bai and Xu Xu. Ji Bai blocked them with his big hand and picked up the wine glass that they had placed in front of Xu Xu. "She doesn't drink."
Therefore, everyone naturally turned to Ji Bai.
As the saying went, one's character was judged by one's taste in alcohol. Ji Bai was not a drunkard, but he was not willing to be forced to drink for free. However, when he was supposed to drink, he was frank and did not miss a single glass. Not long after, his handsome face was slightly red from drinking, and his arm was placed on the back of Xu Xu's chair. He looked relaxed and satisfied, but his dark eyes became brighter and sharper.
Xu Xu had been eating in peace when someone asked, "Sister-in-law, aren't you going to control Captain Ji? How many glasses has he drunk? This is outrageous! "
As soon as he said that, everyone looked over. Ji Bai also narrowed his eyes slightly and tilted his head to look at Xu Xu with a faint smile.
Xu Xu glanced at him and shook her head. "Don't worry about him."
She thought that Ji Bai knew when to advance and retreat, and had strong self-control, so people like him would not usually drink too much.
However, when everyone heard that, they were stunned at first, but then they all laughed. Someone pretended to be envious and sighed. "Sister-in-law, you're obviously letting him go! Captain Ji, you're so lucky! "
Amidst everyone's teasing, Ji Bai looked at her with a smile.
He knew what she was thinking, there was no need for such unnecessary restrictions between the two of them. However, her straightforward and direct answer was unintentional, and in front of outsiders, she gave her man enough face.
She gave him face, and they were right, he was really lucky to be her man.
Although Ji Bai had helped Xu Xu to drink all the alcohol on the table. Coincidentally, the leader of the bureau was also entertaining the foreign colleagues of the task force in a restaurant that night. After a while, Director Sun brought two criminal police officers over for a drink.
Director Sun looked at Ji Bai and Xu Xu and was especially happy. "I didn't expect our trip to Myanmar to not only arrest criminals, but also create a marriage between two criminal police officers. Come, let me toast you! "
Ji Bai wanted to take Xu Xu's wine and drink it, but Director Sun stopped him. "Hey! As a criminal police officer, even if you're a woman, can't you drink this little bit of alcohol? Ji Bai, go away. "
Ji Bai glanced at Xu Xu and whispered, "Drink as much as you can." The people around them started to jeer.
Xu Xu nodded and drank without hesitation.
However, after two glasses, her mission was completed, and she felt a little dizzy, so she got up and went outside to get some fresh air. Ji Bai chatted with them for a while, but when he saw that she had not returned, he looked at the door. At this time, Da Hu had just returned from toasting in the room next door. He sat down next to Ji Bai and said, "Captain, Xu Xu is in the corridor."
Ji Bai glanced at him, and Da Hu continued, "I saw her retching a few times just now. Captain, is she pregnant? Tsk tsk … Time flies. "
Ji Bai laughed. "Get lost." He got up and left the room.
Xu Xu retched a few times, but after asking the waiter for a cup of hot water, she calmed down. The night was dark outside the window, and the city lights were bright. She stood by the window and enjoyed the breeze, so she did not want to enter the noisy room.
"Are you okay?" Ji Bai's low voice was heard beside her.
Xu Xu shook her head.
There were people coming and going in the corridor, and Ji Bai was a step away from her as he looked at the night sky.
"Is there anything else after dinner?" He asked.
"Nothing." Xu Xu answered.
Ji Bai turned to look at her. "Go to my house? It's Saturday tomorrow, so we can watch a movie, chat, and relax. "
His face was very calm, and his handsome face reflected the faint light outside the window. His dark eyes were clear, and he looked especially magnanimous.
Xu Xu said, "… Okay."
Ji Bai looked at her blushing cheeks, and he did not know if it was because she was drunk or because she was shy, but his heart skipped a beat. He took a step toward her and put his arm around her shoulder. He stared at her and said softly, "Your pajamas from last time are still at my house. They've been washed, so you can wear them directly. Let's go after the party. "
The two of them returned to the room and sat down. They exchanged toasts, and the lights were bright and the atmosphere was lively as usual.
After a while, Ji Bai looked at his watch. "It's half past eight, and we've drunk enough. Let's go."
Unexpectedly, as soon as he finished speaking, Da Hu immediately raised his glass. "How can we do that? Let's drink again. "Ji Bai looked at him, but he looked calm.
After a while, a group of people went to the next room to toast, and only a few people from the Criminal Police Unit were left in the room. Everyone was a little dispirited, so they quieted down to rest. Ji Bai held Xu Xu's hand under the table and slowly drank the hot tea.
Suddenly, they heard Da Hu clear his throat and ask a criminal police officer next to him, "Do you have anything else to do after dinner?"
The young criminal police officer was also a wily old fox, so he answered with a smile, "Nothing."
Da Hu asked, "Go to my house? Watch a movie and relax? "
Xu Xu froze slightly, and Ji Bai looked up at the two of them.
Da Hu said seriously, "Your pajamas are still at my house. I've washed them, and I even washed them by hand …"
Xu Xu's face was burning, and she was extremely embarrassed, so she squeezed Ji Bai's hand under the table. Ji Bai held her hand tightly, and smiled as he shouted, "Shut up!"
Everyone burst into laughter.
It turned out that when Ji Bai and Xu Xu were talking, these detectives with strong tracking and eavesdropping abilities were lying in the corner of the wall.
In the end, when the party ended, Ji Bai still could not leave with Xu Xu. As soon as he paid the bill, the chief of the bureau and the task force sent someone over to ask him to go over for a chat, and that he would be responsible for accompanying the task force leader back to the hotel later.
The other colleagues left first, and the two of them stood at the entrance of the hotel, looked at each other for a while, and smiled.
Ji Bai sent Xu Xu to the taxi. "It might end very late, I'll call you tomorrow."
Xu Xu did not mind too much, so she nodded. "Okay, I'll go to my dad's place to take my luggage home."
The car drove on the highway, and the restaurant behind them gradually disappeared. Xu Xu leaned against the window for a while, and because of Ji Bai's words tonight, she remembered the night in Myanmar when they were quietly entangled in the night, and they almost had an accident. He sat on the edge of the bed with his broad naked back, and his voice was extremely calm and gentle. "I don't want your first time to be in such a broken place …"
Xu Xu thought silently for a while, then looked up at the driver and said, "Sir, I'll go to another address."
She still had one of the keys to Ji Bai's house. His house was as clean and cold as before, and her pajamas were neatly folded on the bedside cabinet, giving off a faint fragrance. Xu Xu's originally restless heart seemed to have calmed down, and she turned on the television to watch a movie.
Unexpectedly, after watching a movie, Ji Bai was still not back. Xu Xu saw that it was already eleven o 'clock, and since he drank so late at night, he might have stayed in the guest house with the task force. Xu Xu got up and went home.
When she entered the neighborhood, it was already half past eleven. The street lights were sparse, and the shadows of the trees were waning. Xu Xu had already sobered up from the alcohol, so she leisurely walked up the stairs step by step.
When she reached her floor, she opened the door of the stairwell, only to see that it was dark in front of her house, and she could vaguely see a person leaning against the wall with a red light between his fingers.
Xu Xu coughed softly, and the sensor light turned on.
Ji Bai stood under the light, his tall figure like a statue, and his eyes were calm. "I thought you weren't coming back. I waited for you for more than an hour. "
Xu Xu's heart, which had calmed down, suddenly sped up again.
It turned out that he was waiting for her too.
As soon as she walked over, he hugged her and kissed her passionately with a slightly alcoholic mouth.
Ji Bai had been thinking about her during the banquet with the bureau leader. When he sent the leader back to the guest house, he did not stay to rest, and directly took a taxi to her house. When he remembered that she said she wanted to go to her father's house to get her luggage, he did not call her in the middle of the night, so he waited. Perhaps it was because of his state of mind, he did not feel bored at all.
Now that he was kissing her, he felt that the quiet night was even sweeter and more pleasant.
After kissing her for a while, Ji Bai only stared at her without saying a word. Xu Xu blushed and took out her keys to open the door, not knowing what to say. Suddenly, she remembered that he was smoking just now, so she asked casually, "Why are you smoking again?"
Actually, Ji Bai rarely smoked now, so he was not addicted to it. It was just that the leader of the municipal bureau had given him a cigarette just now, so he was a little sleepy while waiting for Xu Xu, so he smoked to refresh himself.
Seeing that he did not say anything, Xu Xu did not care too much. Just as she opened the door and walked in, she heard him answering slowly behind her, "I'm smoking to boost my courage."
